London Singles Events Calendar – April 2015

A selection of some of the weird and wonderful singles events in London in April

Every month on 30 Dates we showcase some of the weird and wonderful dating events going on in London. Do click on the links, as most of the companies below run more than one event throughout the month. And if you either run dating events, or hear of a dating event we haven’t listed (which is a bit different to normal speed dating) then please keep us posted!

The ultimate low-key dating event – you don’t even need to be single to attend! Turn up with a group of friends, and just grab a red straw for your drink to show others you’re single and looking. St Paul’s. 5pm. Free

Life’s all one big contradiction as the ‘dating site for people who don’t do dating sites’ DoingSomething returns to Bounce for their annual ping-pong themed ‘anti-dating’ dating party. Holborn, 7.30pm. £12

A dinner party with a difference – everyone is single and no one has to cook. Join eleven other diners right in the kitchen of gastro-pub The Mall Tavern. Tickets include a three-course meal, half a bottle of wine and service. Notting Hill. 7.45pm. From £45

Whether you know your chablis from your shiraz, or you confuse merlot with malbec, all are welcome at this event, where you’ll sample six different wines, while a wine expert tells you more about what you’re drinking. Oh, and you’ll also meet some other single wine fans while you’re at it. Vivat Bacchus, Farringdon. 7pm. £29.95
